Second....let me tell you...I struggled with the first coin purse
broke the 8 wt DMC Perle cotton twice sewing the
pouch to the frame....I changed to a beige
super strong thread they use to make seat belts.
yes....broke the needle, snapped in half.
Frustrated...I told myself...make ONE, and your done...but
if you know me at all, I never buy just one of anything
yes I bought 3 purse frames!!
Here is my first coin purse and...I am pretty happy with it.
Luv the little hand made teddy bear....

and make another one....
it went together much better, faster too
but no seat belt thread in black...
I used the 8 wt Finca Perle cotton...worked great.
I luv this one too....
I have more purse frames on order...
I'm looking forward to making more.

I know it is not really funny but I laughed when you said you threaded up unbreakable thread and then broke the needle. Your purses look fabulous. I have never made a purse with a frame. I am just following along the hop but i am sure I will be inspired to try one.
ReplyDeleteOh, Pauline! I think your patience and perservance paid off huge. Love those darling coin purses and love that you're now hooked on making them. ;o)
ReplyDeleteUR Priceless!!
oh those are soo cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little coin purses...TFS!!
ReplyDeleteI have some of that coin fabric - perfect for a coin purse!
ReplyDeleteThey are both lovely
ReplyDeleteHahah love the one with Coin fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely purses! Pauline, I struggled too with sewing the fabric to the frame. After trying a few different needles, I used a curved, round pointed needle. That worked well for me.
ReplyDeleteLove your purses...your fabric choices are terrific! Glad you didn't give up!
ReplyDeleteI love your purses. The pink one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing

Both coin purses are delightful. I admire your patience. Well worth the effort because they are great.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute purses! Patience is a virtue so I have been told....and so you must be virtuous.
ReplyDeleteoh they're both fabulous - that fabric with the money on it is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery ncie, both of them. Good thing persistance paid off.
ReplyDeletePerfect with actual money fabric! I had a hard time sewing into the frame too...had always glued before, but finally got the hang of it, or maybe just found the right needle!
ReplyDeleteWonderful coin bags. They would make great gifts.
ReplyDeleteSuch cuteness, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove your coin purses! I see you went with coin faberic.. I have dollar bills fabric.. lol
ReplyDeleteYour fabric choices are great. I too broke 3 needles sewing to the frame. I may have been using the wrong type of needle or an old one? I got the hang of the sewing to the frame after making one and then a few more.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job...love them both, but that pink one is wowser!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I'm not in the Hop, but I made a few, too, and I also had a LOT of trouble with broken thread and broken needles before I got the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute...I just love this pattern....thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteSo cute! You should get an award for your patience...but glad you stuck with it. The finished purses are so worth it.
ReplyDeleteLovely purse! (from another day 1 person!)
ReplyDeleteLove them, hooray for perseverance!!
ReplyDeleteYour persistence has paid off. Those are lovely coin purses.

ReplyDeleteYour little purses are so cute! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteReally great ideas - love your little purses. Judy C
ReplyDeleteI broke my thread the first time, too! I guess I was pulling to hard. I do want to know how you knotted yours off after it was finished. That was a way tricky thing for me to do.
ReplyDeleteAnd, last but not least, congrats for having your coin purse be one of the top 3! It was well deserved!!
very cute!!

ReplyDeleteI love your little coin purses and your fabric choices were perfectly priceless! I suffered the same broken/shredded thread issues, too, but no broken needle.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I had trouble sewing the fabric to the frames too but luckily didn't break any needles. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery cute, I imagine once you iron out all problems they become addicting. I have three frames and pattern so I will also attempt to make some. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic purses! I really like the black/pink, too cute! :)
ReplyDeleteThey turned out very cute!!
ReplyDeleteI too have snap in half needles while trying to make my purse. I love your purses. Thankss for sharing....Judith, Texas
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I broke about 5 needles and had lots of threads break but I found that upolstry thread from Walmart worked the best for me.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric choice for the first purse very fitting with the coin fabric
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing :)
Cute coin purses. Thank you for telling the frustrations involved. Now I won't feel bad when I have problems.
ReplyDeleteDid a picture ever just make you know you really needed this. These are to cute for words.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you documenting the difficulty you had with the thread because we know now to use heavy-duty thread. It's helpful that bloggers communicate their frustrations as well as their successes as I am sure we all experience this sometimes and it's better to have a "heads-up" on situations so we can prepare. I love the coin fabric which I just saw on a Shop Hop. Oh, if I had only known-I'm sure I have enough scraps to make several of these. From California, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCute purses, well done for persevering you have more patience than I do!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, I love your purses!
ReplyDeletePrecious idea to make a coin purse out of coin fabric!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!! Thanks for sharing your creations today!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I struggled with sewing the frame onto the purse as well. I broke lots of thread along the way as well. But I only made one purse. Way to go making two.
ReplyDeleteI had simialr problems with thread, but the Finca thread works like a charm! Thanks for sharing your creations!
ReplyDeletePauline, they are perfect. The money one is great!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you hung in there, I bet you are too! They are so darn cute when they are done aren't they?
